Just So Everyone Knows: Housing

To clarify something that many people don't know: "mansion" in Japan is the term for loft/studio apartments.

So basically, when they said "mansion" style apartments in Ishgard, they meant apartments.

"Step 5: FC leader makes you the new leader of the FC."

And what happens if the FC Leader doesn't do step 5 and just kicks you out of the FC?

Exactly the same thing that happens if you hand over gil to a non-fc house seller and they refuse to relinquish their land afterwards. I don't see the difference between the two or the point you are trying to make. Whether you are buying the rights to re-purchase a relinquished plot or buying the FC house directly from the seller you are still dealing with a trust factor. Hand them 50% of the gil first and 50% after if you have trust issues.

Not a difference, just pointing out that it is not a safe and/or legitimate way of purchasing a plot of land. Neither are.
And handing them 50% still doesn't insure anything. You can call it having trust issues but I've seen this kind of shit happen before to people, , with the offending party receiving little-to-no punishment for it, and I think people need to be properly informed of the risks.

Voilà.

Sorry, it was like a giant red button. I just had to push it.
